18915 5th St SW, Lutz, FL 33548

Back on market!!! Buyers financing fell through. A 4-bedroom, 3-full bath waterfront property in the heart of Lutz almost 100k under Market Value– need we say more? Situated on an oversized front yard, this home has plenty of space for little ones or pets, but the real magic lies in the backyard with gorgeous views of Cooper's Bayou. You’ll enjoy water views outlined by a mature cypress forest along with an abundance of wildlife, from turtles and herons to wood ducks, otters, and sandhill cranes. Take it all in on the covered back deck with a built-in picnic table! Don’t forget the fishing! Huge Large-Mouth Bass can be caught here and in the connected 79 acre Lake Cooper. The canal between these lakes has recently become overgrown, but enough elbow grease could connect them again and give you full access to even more water sports. Step inside, and you'll find a thoughtfully designed interior with a split floor plan. The huge master suite is a true retreat, featuring a private bathroom with a luxurious garden tub, a separate shower, and a spacious walk-in closet. It also has its own private access to the backyard deck. The sunken living room provides stunning water views and plenty of natural light thanks to the huge windows. Your second large bedroom also enjoys private access to the back porch, a full bathroom shared with the third bedroom, and its own spacious walk-in closet with built-in shelving. For those looking for a dedicated workspace or a creative space, a private workshop awaits. Currently used as a knife making studio, it's insulated, air-conditioned, and is perfect for woodworking, hobbies, or even a private office. Additional features of this home include a designated laundry room with ample built-in shelving and an additional storage closet, a galley kitchen with recently updated stainless-steel appliances, a front storage shed, and a back porch that offers plenty of room for storage. Sellers are motivated so bring all offers! Property would benefit from some cosmetic updates and it has been priced accordingly. It’s solid though and has already passed a recent 4-point inspection with flying colors. The HVAC system and new ductwork were completed in 2018, along with a new electrical panel. A new Rheem water heater was installed in 2020, and both the shingle roof and flat roof were completely redone just 7 years ago and have plenty of life left. The location of this home is simply unbeatable. A quiet, friendly neighborhood with walkability to the Lutz Dog Park and Nature Trail, Lutz Branch Library, Learning Gate Charter School, John's Butcher Shop, the original Latin Spot grocery store, CheckMat Jiu Jitsu Gym, Jazzercise Dance Studio, Lutz POW Memorial Park, the Lutz Hardware and Food Depot, and much more! With almost immediate access to 41 and Dale Mabry via Lutz Lake Fern, you'll enjoy the “20 minutes from everything Lutz Effect” and have the best of Tampa Bay right at your fingertips. Don’t forget about the Gulf Beaches and deep-sea fishing boat ramps less than an hour away! These Lutz properties don’t go on the market very often. The owners are a long time Lutz family that decided to move up the road, so now is your chance to own a truly rare Lutz gem and start building memories of your own! Sellers motivated so bring all offers!
